Maybe you and I have different definitions of specific. Unless we know what the exact situation was last time (we don’t) or why there was a timer on the negotiations (we don’t), it’s just more bollocks mate. I know you like him, and generally I have too, but Boddy has very much been channelling...

Youve missed my point. The implication seems to be that the EFL deadline ended talks, but surely there was an EFL deadline in 2014 that passed as we started the season at Sixfields, before coming back to the Ricoh. So it’s not like the EFL deadline for CCFC to say where they’re playing precludes...

It doesn’t look great. There were many routes to progress that other than “it wasn’t this” and “that’s not important”, they could’ve been much clearer, hence my initial frustrated reply to the statement But equally, I’m wary of how good Sisu are with dead cats. I wish Wasps would just come out...

He’s a member of the Tory Reform Group! I thought they’d all died out!

Don’t hold your breath. We regularly go back twenty years on stuff to do with the club and council, sometimes even longer. We’ve been being promised “the truth: coming soon” for at least the last seven.

Ah yes, when there’s too much rhetoric and bluster, call for a politician ;) In all seriousness he seems like a sensible Tory, might be worth a shot.

Really interesting point. Grendel said something about defending yourself from defamation being a valid defence, but it’s Wasps being defamed I guess? Our next fundraiser for fans needs to be legal advice on NDAs and State Aid.

@mark82 @Sky Blue Pete As you’ve got access. Could you ask the following clarifying questions? - Why can’t negotiations continue past the EFL deadline in a similar manner to 2014? - Have Sisu agreed to end (or not start new) all legal challenges around the sale of the Ricoh to Wasps? If...

They didn’t say the deadline surprised them. They said CCFC pulling out surprised them. As NW says it can both be true that Wasps were surprised talks ended and they knew about the deadline by simple fact of them not knowing the EFL deadline would lead to talks ending! Again, silly rhetorical...

Buy a ST based on whether you can make the games, not this crap for Christ’s sake!

Either that or they didn’t think it’d end negotiations. I assume the negotiations at Sixfields carried on past the EFL deadline as we started the season there then moved back.

TBF that doesn’t mean it’s not a tactic. It just means Sisu knew it wasn’t in Wasps gift to comply so it was safe to say they would (if you take this statement as fact, which I’m not saying I am). Interesting they are clear about what the indemnity doesn’t involve, e.g. bankrupting the club...

Name names motherfucker! Who do we need to give a blow job to to get the NDA waived!?

Its like stolen good innit? Yeah you didn’t Nick the car, you just bought it off me, but me being proven to have nicked it will have an impact on your ownership of the car. Put it this way: the alternative theory is that Wasps are allowing CCC to force them into bad business decisions when a...

As I say, I think it’s high risk low reward TBH. I’m not convinced the understanding of the indemnity is as it’s grown to be on here but put that to one side. My position for some time has been to build our own ground. Given that, yeah I’d take a short term deal right now. Because I think we’re...

Its a fair question. And this is what I mean about rhetorical games. When one side says “we want no more action against the Ricoh” and the other says “we promise no more action against Wasps” it opens that door. Life would be a lot easier if both sides used the same language. That’s what makes...

From what I can gather the commercial deal itself has never been an issue. It’s always come down to disagreement on “dropping the legals”/“unreasonably restricting the clubs legal rights”. What I’d like an answer to is why did talks stop just because the EFL deadline passed? Surely Sixfields...

Yes they did. However clearly Wasps wanted something wider, end of legals around the Ricoh. Wasps statement last year says this. They call the agreement a “letter” and Sisu call it an “undertaking” I’m not down with legalese enough to know the difference but they both accept Sisu signed...

Now we’re having a proper discussion! For me, a simple CCFC fan who wants to watch his team play Championship football in Coventry the answer is simple: There’s only one game in town for Championship stadia right now and all available evidence and logic suggests the action won’t be successful...

The theory is that the EU complaint itself isn’t the issue (Wasps said this on their statement last year), but that a successful judgement for Sisu opens up other actions against Wasps. So while Sisu can’t drop the EU complaint, they can promise not to follow it up with other actions.
